Race 1 MSW 2YO 1:05 EST Give me Irad on the 2 Bat Flip at 7-2. 7 Wasabi Boy, 8 Blazing Sevens, and the 1 Faithful and True underneath.
Picks: 2-7-1-8
Race 2 $16K Claiming NW2 1:39 EST The 1 Icon is a new Diodoro trainee, a gray, adds blinkers, and he comes out of the Churchill Downs circuit. 5 Mr. Fidget is a new gelding.
Picks: 1-5-2-4
Race 3 $25K Claiming 3YO+ NW2 2:15 EST Linda Rice with the coupled entry here 1 Storm Shooter and 1A Got the Gold. I think that the 2 Power Agenda will get pressed early and Irad or Eric Cancel can run him down.
Picks: 1/1A-3-2-7
Race 4 NY-Bred $45K AOC NW2 3YO+ 2:49 EST The 5 Call Me Harry gets a jockey upgrade with Tyler Gaffalione and should get a perfect stalking trip for trainer Michelle Hemingway. This race is wide open–pull numbers out of a hat to fill out your exotics.
Picks: 5-6-1-7
Race 5 Shuvee Stakes (G2) Mares 4YO+ 3:21 EST What is this, Santa Anita? A four horse stakes race? C’mon! 3 Malathaat adds blinkers; just to see how it goes?
Picks: 3-4-1-2
Race 6 MSW 2YO Fillies 3:55 EST The 5 Take Charge Briana for the barn of D. Wayne Lukas sticks out in this field of eight with five first timers. The pedigree fits the surface and distance.
Picks: 5-7-4-2
Race 7 MSW 2YO Fillies 4:29 EST Give me the Chads and the coupled entry here. Nice field and should be a good betting race. If you can beat the Chads, that is.
Picks: 11-5-1/1A-3
Race 8 $50K Claiming NW3 5:05 EST The 7 Swiftsure drops in class today in hopes of getting back to his winning ways of 2021. Second off the bench, too.
Picks: 7-3-4-6
Race 9 Allowance NW1 Fillies & Mares 3YO+ 5:39 EST The 1 Osiria is a winner last out and Rosario stays in the irons today. The 3 Nota Bene figures to be charging late. The combo of Ian Wilkes and Irad Ortiz, Jr. are 1-for-2 lifetime.
Picks: 1-3-2-4
Race 10 $75K Maiden Claiming 3YO+ 6:13 EST 10 Cheeky Tico just missed last time out for trainer Orlando Noda. Can he do it today against the white-hot Chad Brown barn and 2 What a Dude? 1 Smoke and Heat adds blinkers. The Todd Pletcher entry 5 Good Medicine cuts back to a distance that should be a better fit.
Picks: 10-1-2-5
Best of luck!
